nAccording to the schedule, the next class should be political science. When I returned to the classroom, Xiao Qin was still immersed in copying the Bible with several curious girls surrounding her asking different questions.

n“Xiao Qin, what are you writing? Eh? How can you write traditional Chinese characters that fast!”

n“Let me see: … Every son born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but every daughter you may allow to live… Damn, this content is violent!”

n“You don’t know anything! This is Exodus! An excerpt from book 1!”

n“Xiao Qin, why are you copying the Bible? Is your family religious?”

nWhen I came back and sat next to them, they dispersed like sparrows.

nSeeing that I was back, Xiao Qin boldly asked:

n“Is this enough? My hand’s sore, can I rest for a bit?”

nAlthough she asked to stop, her hand did not stop writing. It seems that she does not dare stop working without the chief’s permission.

nShe does look quite pitiful with a bandaged head while copying until her hand was sore. I will make an exception this time and spare her.

nThe political science teacher had to do something last minute, so the class was changed to computer class. Everyone hurriedly moved to the computer classroom.

nI sat in the last row with Cao JingShen as usual, Xiao Qin was pulled beside the class leader and Loud Mouth. She was still being asked about the injury on her head.

nBut this time they didn’t sit that far away. Rather, they sat in the row right in front of us, probably because the class leader wanted to monitor us so we wouldn’t get any funny ideas.

nWe were so close, that even if Cao JingShen was outrageously bold. He would not dare pass around PS nude photos of the class leader like last time.

nPerhaps because this is the last lesson of the day, the teacher wasn’t just sleeping on his desk. He told us to discuss the chapter in groups, and he ran into the hallway to use his cellphone.

nThe groups were split based on each pair of opposing rows. Each group was composed of 8 people.

nThat means it would be the four people in front us, the class leader, Xiao Qin, Loud Mouth, Little Smart, plus the four in our row to make a group of 8.

nObviously we have less than four people in our row, it was only me and Cao JingShen.

nBut even if we only had two people, the class leader’s group wouldn’t tell us to join them.

nThe class became a free class, it became a place where the boys bragged to each other while the girls gossiped.

nWhen Xiao Qin was with the girls, she would be able to talk, but today was an exception.

nNot because she was injured, but because she was seated slightly further away from me.

nRight in front of her was number one loyal dog glasses bro and just behind was Cao JingShen.

nShe suddenly became introverted after being sandwiched between two boys. When the other girls would say a couple phrases to her, she would only reply with one.

nIt’s not like there aren’t other girls who were afraid of boys in our class. The study committee member Gong CaiCai would always stutter when collecting homework from boys.

nTherefore, they believed that Xiao Qin had the same problem as Gong CaiCai. It may be because she was too pure, and that Xiao Qin was weak and feeble to the point where she fainted today, so Loud Mouth said that Xiao Qin was like a contemporary Lin Daiyu.

nLin Daiyu, my ass! This Lin Daiyu can single-handedly slaughter the entire Jia family! She also talks to Jia Baoyu every day about porn, Jia Baoyu couldn’t stand her harassment and is about to become a monk!

nIt’s fine when she’s told to take care of her body, or when she’s compared to Lin Daiyu. Xiao Qin just takes it all and pretends to be cute, and the four person girl group are always happy.

n

n

nOne way or another the topic changed, they started talking about the problem with choosing troublesome or bad friends.

nLoud Mouth spoke first. She said she had a distant cousin who was once deceived by her groupies. She severed all ties with her family and now no one knows where she went. Maybe she was kidnapped and trafficked into the mountains.

nWhen she got to an emotional part, Loud Mouth seethed with anger, and seemed like she just wanted to get a machete and brutally massacre the swindlers that tricked her cousin.

nWhen it came to to talking about friendships, Little Smart, who usually doesn’t talk much, dominated the topic.

nAs soon as she spoke, I knew that the basketball team’s, Captain Guo SongTao and Shen ShaoYi, were out of luck.

nSure enough, when Little Smart started talking about friendship, a torrent of words flooded out of her mouth. Her literary talents were exceptional, to a degree that would of made tigers bow their heads and rocks shed tears. Not to mention the class leader, even Cao JingShen and I were both stunned.

nIn fact, Little Smart probably spoke tens of thousands of words. To sum it up, she basically said that friendships must be pure and honest, like the admirable friendship between Guo SongTao and Shen ShaoYi. The two of them should get married immediately, and whoever dares to stop them would be committing a crime.

nLittle Smart’s remarks really frightened the class leader. She was worried that Xiao Qin would have been corrupted by Little Smart, a fujoshi. She quickly took over and started talking about her own opinions.

nI initially thought that the class leader would have acted like a teacher and would say some stereotypes. But all she talked about was women’s independence.

nThe class leader believed that women must rely on their own efforts to gain a standing in society. They must oppose gender discrimination and deny special treatment. She also severely criticized the cliched notions of certain women who would get caught up in the flow and end up married. Finally, she said that women must know how to refuse and they must not give up in times of adversity.

nI think the class leader’s speech strayed pretty far from the topic at hand, and when she said that last line, she was staring at me, as if I have always been constantly abusing Xiao Qin.

nBut after she said that I did feel a bit ashamed. Xiao Qin had a head injury, yet I still forced her to copy the Bible.

nThe class leader saw me shift my gaze away from her and believed that I realized that I was in the wrong. Then she started telling Xiao Qin about Stockholm syndrome.

nStockholm Syndrome is also known as the Hostage Syndrome. It is said that under special circumstances, the abductees may develop serious psychological dependence on their abductors and may even fall in love with them.

nThis new topic was well received, both Loud Mouth and Little Smart were scrambling to speak, with those two gossipers, the class leader didn’t stand a chance.

nBased on the limited information they knew about us, Xiao Qin did fit this symptom.

nEvidence 1: I’m a very violent childhood friend, so I must have beat and abused Xiao Qin since we were kids.

nEvidence 2: Xiao Qin never resists my abuse and has always adopted an attitude of acceptance and even said that she was my girlfriend.

nEvidence 3: I don’t admit that Xiao Qin is my girlfriend, and always treat her coldly.

nEvidence 4: I look like a kidnapper.

nIn summary, the speculation that Xiao Qin and I were a couple was under suspicion, and even Loud Mouth felt that my relationship with Xiao Qin was a bit strange. Originally, when facing such doubts, Xiao Qin would vehemently refute, but since she’s in a state of androphobia, she can only say phrases that hold no weight such as “it’s not like that” and “you’re mistaken”.

nThey discussed this right in front of me. I didn’t know if they wanted to deliberately make me embarrassed or hoped that I would outright deny them and let them gossip even more.

nXiao Qin heard that she and I weren’t a couple in the eyes of our classmates. It looked liked she was hurt, and tears slowly drizzled from her eyes.

nLoud Mouth and Little Smart quickly shut their mouths and started apologizing while comforting her. The class leader tried to comfort her while massaging her back and she ferociously glared at me with the corner of her eye.

n

n

nEh? What does this have to do with me? Xiao Qin was crying because of your gossip? Class leader, why are you looking at me with such a resentful gaze? Do you think that Xiao Qin’s crying because she fears that she will be even more cruelly abused in the future?

nStop joking around! Also Stockholm syndrome? I was always abusing Xiao Qin? It’s the complete opposite! I have been bullied by Xiao Qin since I was 6 years old! Even if someone was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, it would be me!

nHurry up and discover Xiao Qin’s true colors! Don’t believe her just because she’s crying! Those are crocodile tears! As soon as you turn around, she will instantly bite off my arm!

nAlso, the class leader is too easily deceived by facades! And you’re still planning to become a detective at your skill level? I think even your brother has better analytical skills than you!

nWhen I thought of that ingrate, Shu Zhe, I suddenly remembered when he spoke about his sister’s diary.

nIf the class leader doesn’t change her diary, Shu Zhe will probably peek at her diary every day to gather beneficial information.

nI have to find a way to inform the class leader without directly saying it.

nI decided to have a few words with Cao JingShen, who was reading manga.

n“Eunuch Cao, this class is a group discussion. Look how enthusiastic the girls in front of us are, we can’t lose to them!”

nCao JingShen put away his manga.

n“Leader Ye is right, it is really a shame to our clan to let these squeaky women constantly yap. Let us create a discussion between men to show them!”

nWhat he said was pretty impressive. But his voice was too quiet and the girls didn’t hear anything.

nI wasn’t as scared as him, so I cleared my throat and raised my volume.

n“Eunuch Cao, I saw a diary with a password lock in the stationery store. How do you feel about its security?”

nThe class leader didn’t look back, but it seemed like her ears slightly twitched, or the long hair near her ears slightly shifted.

nUnlike animals, it is said that the human ear muscles have mostly degraded, and only about a quarter of the world’s population can freely move their ears.

nHow come you’re in the 1

/4 minority? Is it because your family is full of hunters, and being able to move your ears gets more auditory information, which is very helpful for hunting?

nIt turns out that you not only have good vision, but also very sensitive hearing? It seems like you really want to be a godly sniper!

nIt seems that I misunderstood. What you wanted to be in the future wasn’t a police detective, but a sniper in the special unit. At that time, the sniper rifle will be perched at the top of the building, the distance and wind speed will be calmly calculated. Once the negotiation breaks down, you will instantly kill the bad guy who kidnapped the woman and her child!

nNo, I have to calm down. I have not kidnapped women or children. The current task is to remind the class leader to change her diary.

nCao JingShen, who was listening to me talking about the diary with a password lock, thought it was very strange.

n“Hey, when did you get interested in that stuff? Did you write down some information about ‘secret books’? For example, Zhuang…”

nI made a “stop” gesture to him, to prevent him from saying something that should not be said.

n“I was just curious, I have a distant cousin that foolishly started writing in her diary since elementary school. I told her that the password lock diary she used is not safe, but she doesn’t believe me…”

nThe class leader’s long hair started shaking even more vigorously. I said that my cousin was foolish, it had nothing to do with you.

n“Hey? Leader? Did you have a cousin? How come I didn’t know!”

nCao JingShen made an extremely shocked and excited expression, four words to describe him would be ‘thinking with his dick’.

n“Hurry up and introduce her to me! Keep the good stuff within our family! The happiness of this disciple’s life depends on you, leader!”

nCao JingShen sincerely wanted to kneel down.

nI squinted at him and looked at him with contempt. Even if I had a cousin, I would never push her into a pit of fire.

n“Don’t rush, I remembered it wrong. It was actually my male cousin.”

nCao JingShen rolled his eyes.

n“Leader, if you can’t even differentiate the genders of your cousins, it will lead to huge problems!”
